Caleb Williams CONFIRMS Hamstring Tear: I Don't Know If I'm Playing Sunday

Let's talk about, let's get into the stress, the stress test, and why that matters, okay? Because that's a part of it too.

Uh, and he spoke on that.

So, um, here's the whole ballgame, man.

And I will say this, one thing left, he has to pass a stress test before he's cleared, and I think that's most important of it all, and he cannot say whether he, uh, can play or not, because if he passes it, he plays.

If he fails, he sits.

We get the answer Friday or Saturday.

That's just protocol.

That's not anything that's farmed or whatever.

He, uh, let me ask you this, Tom.

He's practiced full twice.

Yeah.

Well, not, not a full practice on the first, but considered, you know.

So you run him through a full s- uh, stress test, uh, two days before the game.

Um, you know, and I say at that point, do you feel comfortable that he's good to go?

I mean, if he passes all five core tests, then he's good to go.

I mean, it shouldn't even be, it shouldn't even be a question.

And in fact, it shouldn't even be a question on whether he can play again in four days or five days, whatever it is.

For all the folks at home that don't even know that there's five core tests, do you know what those are? Because I had no idea that there was five tests.

Yeah, yeah.

The first thing is, uh, you have to do high-speed running.

Um, and you have to have zero pain during what they call palpitation, and that's where they press directly on the muscle and they start to massage it.

You have to have zero pain there.

You have to have zero pain during passive stretching.

You have to have zero pain during, uh, like a muscle contraction.

So, like, on a hamstring you have to do, like, a hamstring curl.
